Teaching couple with three kids
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2014 5:54 am
Hi all,
My wife and I are teachers at a Tier One school in SE Asia. We are thinking of moving back to Europe and should both be pretty employable, but we have three kids. I know that many schools won't educate three kids and that many of those that will are in countries where the tuition is a taxable benefit. I also know that three kids makes us more expensive. I have been given the impression by some people that this makes our chances of a good school in Europe very limited. Others seem to think that as we are a teaching couple we might be OK. I know that a teaching couple is a positive and that three kids is a negative and I suspect that in many cases the negative will outweigh the positive. What I don't know is whether the arrival of our third child has dented, damaged or destroyed our chances .Any honest insights into this situation would be really appreciated and no doubt very useful for others in our position. We won't hold bad news against her next time she pours milk all over the floor- honest...
Thanks.
